Most fine filtration is measured in microns Micrometer (micron) is a metric unit of measurement denoting one millionth of a meter. To give you some idea of how fine a micron is, consider that the smallest particle visible to the unaided human eye is about forty microns (you can see smaller particles […]
Read More →There are a few rules to remember when sizing a filtration system: With in-depth cartridge filters, the slower the flow, the more efficient the cartridge is and the longer the user can go between change-outs. At Filters.com, we typically size housings to start out with a clean differential pressure of two pounds or less. You […]
Read More →Media migration is the phenomenon in which a portion of the filter (media) itself comes loose from the filter and travels downstream with the liquid or gas being filtered. An example of this is a piece of fiber from a string-wound filter being carried downstream in the liquid being filtered. Most commodity-type filters, as well […]

Filtration processes using membranes could potentially reduce energy consumption compared to other separation methods. The membrane is very thin, […]
